What do you think of gay people?

Question

I know some people think it's gross, inhuman, weird, and alot more. But why? Whats your oppinion? Does it make a difference to you? Are you cool with it, as long as gays don't come near you...or something...? I mean, what? Why?

Answer 1

I completely and utterly disagree with that excuse and the hiding behind the bible because it is very wrong to be live that way if god didn't want us to be gay/bi or lesbian then he would make it that way he does after all control everything. But i don't even like to call it being gay/bi or lesbian because i be live that is labelling us as a singled out group i be live that everyone has a soul mate someone who you can tell you're secrets and share your emotions with and it just so happens that some people get soul mates that are the same gender it's just the way things are and did you know that the roman civilization be lived a relationship between two people of the same gender to be a state of a higher relationship and they actually promoted it.
and that is why i disagree with people like Darlene M and jerks like J.D.
(P.S. Singling out gay/bi and lesbians is just like how people of the 1800's and early 1900's treated people with coloured skin IT'S WRONG!)

Answer 2

My experience with it, as an effeminate bi guy, is most people accept how I act in front of them, but some may harbor feelings against gay marriage on a religious circumstance. Some absolutely hate me for no reason, aka the bigots, some love me as a friend and support civil unions with all the rights of marriage but not the title of marriage, and I understand them, and then most of them love me for who I am and support full gay rights. Everyone's individual opinion varies; I know some who think we should all be lined up and shot, which is terrible and very much so a byproduct of the religious wackos who teach hatred.

Answer 3

If this is directed towards gay people then I would say that I love being around people that are gay--because I am gay too. We share that common interest.

But, I don't think all gay people are cool or interesting people to associate with..not because they are gay, but because of their personality. That would be no different than me not wanting to associate with a straight person because they have an unappealing persona not because they are straight.

Answer 4

i am a lesbian and it just feels right. it always has felt right. i have had lesbian tendancies since i was 6 years old maybe even younger. so dont tell me its bullshit that we are born this way because science has proven that there is a gene which controlles your sexual orientation.
anyway back to the point, it has always felt right for me to love another woman, when i tried to date and love men it just didnt feel right it sometimes made me sick to think of even sleeping with one.
but when im with a woman i feel ok everything just feels right and i dont think it should be any other way. no one should ordane how a person loves and who they love and if you do then you should change your attitude because we love the same sex, so what.
we have as much right to live the way we want to as hetro's do.
south africa has just come along in the freedom for us, they have legalised gay and lesbian marriage and allow us the same privilages of a hetro married couple, i think its wonderful.
and if a backward country like south africa can accept us and give us rights so can a backward person if their eyes would just open to the truth.

Answer 5

I think of gay people the same way that I think of all people. The fact that they happen to be gay shouldn't put them into a completely separate category than the rest of humanity. It's just one part of who they are, whether it is by choice or by genetics.

There are some awesome people who are gay, and there are some jerks who are gay. Just like there are awesome people and jerks who are straight, black, white, tall and short.

I don't think that being gay is how a group of people should be judged one way or another.

Answer 6

I'm gay and I come near you everyday. I'm the women that works the window at your local post office. My partner is a guidance counselor at a local college. I have many gay friends including a farmer and a weaver that shows religiously that your towns farmers markets and her partner who is high up in investigating real estate fraud for the federal government.

Have you walked around your community? I suspect one of the people you might meet is gay. It might be your neighbor.

Answer 7

I would be happy if I had more gay friends. I would be unhappy if I lost the one I had. I have no problems with them that I know of. I don't know how I'd feel if I were standing in a room with people of the same sex kissing each other because I've never been in that position.

Answer 8

I think that being gay is ok. I am a straight woman but I have a 17 year old bi daughter. I do not see her being bi. I still see her as my daughter that I gave birth to 17 years ago. The only difference is, she brings home girlfriends. They are all sweet and nice to her. The show that really helped me was Lifetime Channel. They show alot of true stories and how it is like for them. When my daughter told me that she was bi, I told her ok and she said "what you are not mad at me?" and I said "for what? I still love you."
That is how I feel. She is still my little girl. : )

Answer 9

I'm "cool" with gays being my neighbors, friends, family members etc. If the day ever comes where my daughter discovers she is gay then I'd be "cool" with having a gay daughter in law

Answer 10

I think of gays the same way I think of all people. Leave me alone, I'll mind my own business and you mind your's. Don't push your political/social agendas on me, I don't push mine on you. Don't look in my bedroom and I won't look in your's.

You have a house for a reason, keep your business indoors where I don't have to see it.

I don't approve of the gay lifestyle, but I am not going to attack them with torches and pitchforks to leave town. I am a firm believer that good fences make good neighbors.
